Do you have any experience with disability chairs?

[LauraMarx]

I'm thinking of getting one. I know they're mostly for back issues and for issues getting up, but, for a lot of reasons I'd find one very helpful - like, being generally bedridden, comfort is an issue, and sitting up in bed is becoming increasingly more difficult & giving me aches or w/e, cuz like, beds aren't meant for sitting up in all the time? It's bad for my posture at least

AND, where I'd put my chair, I'd be right next to the kitchen, where I can just get up & get food, which would help me SO much, compared to having to come downstairs (my bed is upstairs), which I don't always have the ability to do (often causing my blood sugars to drop, etc.)

Anyway, yeah. I'm considering it, and I'm just wondering if anyone here has used them & what they're like?

I personally feel like they can do more harm than good. I understand it's needed at times, but the dependency on them can even weaken your back further. Have you tried a medicine ball? Might sound a bit daft but it helps with being able to sit and helps improve core and back muscle strength. Just something to consider.

this is just offensive, basically. I have a degenerative illness that causes severe fatigue that leaves me bedridden, I cannot exercise, that's why I want a chair

[kovalinkie19]

Uh, yes I know someone who has that as well. And they use a medicine ball (not for exercising but sitting)...

It sounds nice, if my home had stairs I'd get get one...if it helps you then that's all that matters
